Packin’ on the pounds

 - by Brittany

Our little girl is 11 weeks now. Somewhere I got ahead of myself, because I’ve been telling everyone she’s 12 weeks. Oops. She sure is starting to get some chubby rolls. See…

She is also starting to smile back, tell us stories, and on the verge of laughing. They aren’t distinct giggles yet, but they are close.

You know you want to come visit us and squish those cheeks!

Today we had another check up with the cardiologist. Everything is the same, which is good. We don’t have to go back for 3 months. Yay! The Doc said at that appt. he will probably just listen and no EKGs or Echos will be needed. That means it will be a quick appointment. I was excited to hear that. They are actually monitoring her pulmonary valve more closely than the hole in her heart. They want to make sure as she grows, so does her valve. They also check to make sure the right side of her heart isn’t strained and overworked. So far, so good.

By the way, today she was over 13 pounds. I don’t remember the exact weight, but that’s like a pound a week at least.
